Boy Peeing In Lake

December 2nd, 2008, 02:58 AM

I have this print that is over 50+ years old, it's a boy peeing in a lake and a frog is climbing out of the water spiting out water.

At the bottom it reads: Ne buvez jamais d'eau

I just can't make out the artist name.

Please Help

George Redon ' "Ne buvez jamais d'eau" Don't drink the water! Hope that this is of some help.

Slainte!

My great aunt had one of these prints and I took a picture of it 20+ years ago. It was in her bathroom hanging over the toilet! I still have the pic and will scan it in eventually...
I'm just curious if you are interested in selling it? I am, of course, checking Ebay, etc. Have a nice day!

I have a print and is signed. It is titled: l'ouie; "la voix de son maitre". It is a picture of a young child sitting at a piano with a small dog sitting on a chair howling. It is the cutest thing! I can not find any info on it or any reference to it. Has anyone seen this print before?

I have two drawings by this artist. One is "boy peeing in water, with a frog jumping out" in french, English meaning is "Don't drink the water". The other is "little girl sitting on a potty chair looking at pictures on the floor with a rose next to them" in French, English meaning is "Business is Business". I bought these at a picture framing shop (Atlanta) that had prints for sale. Owner looked up George Redon, found them and ordered them for me. Probably any frame shop that sells prints can find them for you. I had them matted and framed and have them together in my bathroom. Probably 30 years now.

Any idea what the name of the frame shop is?

I have two prints with menu on back. One says le canard mage les limaces (not too sure of spelling) and one that says Pa Poule Mange Les escargots. Any idea what they would be worth?
Thanks!
Annie
